Abstract:		 The scheme comprised the installation of a short section of gas main to a shop at number 679 West Road, Denton Burn. The shop lay directly on the line of Hadrian’s Wall; one section of wall foundations has been conserved within the grounds of a commercial garage, some 100m to the south-east. Another section- complete with a turret- lies 200m to the north-west. The First Edition 1:2,500 Ordnance Survey map of 1859-61 depicted the section of Hadrian’s Wall preserved to the south-east, and marked the projected line of the wall through the site of the new gas main. The pipe was installed using directional drilling via three hand-excavated trenches. Trench 1 was the point of connection with the gas main within the pavement. It measured 1.4m north to south by 0.7m east to west and was 0.7m deep. Some 5.5m to the south, Trench 2 was excavated within the concrete pavement and measured 1.05m by 0.55m m with a depth of 0.75m. Trench 3 was approximately 5m to the south of Trench 2 and measured 1.1m by 0.56m by 0.54m deep, and incorporated a 0.25m wide, 0.3m deep slot connecting it to the building. No evidence for Hadrian’s Wall, its foundations or associated Roman activity was observed during the archaeological watching brief. The presence of natural clay horizons immediately below the concrete suggested that the ground had been reduced prior to the construction of the shops in the 1930s/40s.
